1+ for J&S. Had the red Sears model and almost dropped my Heritage. With the J&S I've had the complete front off and the rear at separate times with no stability problems. I've also climbed on the bike just like in the ads with no fear at all. Very stable jack.

I have the J&S too, and I'm sure the Pit Bull is great too. Had a Sears yellow jack and it broke.

J&S looks like a great lift, but it only lifts 18", not 25" like the PB.

But I'd buy one over anything made in China.

+1 on J&S - best purchase I've made.

I played with a pitbull at the chicago motorcycle show this winter and it looked really nice as well.

Have the Craftsman one and its not very stable, will use it for my smaller bikes.

But found this one at Harbor Freight. Gets the Bike up so I don't have to work on the ground.

I have had 3 cheap jacks over the years. None of them function anymore. I bought a J&S. It's a nice product. The oil deflector is a nice add on allowing you to drain all 3 holes w/o moving the pan. The other nice thing I like about the J&S is when it is all the way up the jack is all the way under the bike.

Pittbull's look nice as well although I have never seen one in person.

weld up your sears jack and use it..
if you have a lot of money to waist buy what is suggested on here
most jacks will do the job just fine and last a long time
if a weld broke maybe it was something you should have seen and fixed or returned the jack
mine is from kragen 50$ and works fine and has for several years no I do not tie the bike down to it either ..
